RAF Dunkirk Was a chain home radar station, all but 1 of the towers have gone but there are a few buildings left.
Under one of the transmitter masts was an underground bunker but this is now flooded we could not get to the other bunker but it is also believed to be flooded.


One of the tower mounts with the last transmitter tower in the background, there is an under ground bunker right under the 4 mast supports.

These two shots show the entrance and the emergency exit from the bunker

Nice

Interesting report and pics, the Oerlikon mount must be rare as I've never seen or heard of one that hasn't been aboard one of Her Maj's mighty war canoes G
 
Yeah good pics again Newage. The remaining tower is still used by the RAF and USAAF (or was until very recently) as a microwave comms facility.
